"Host, what happened to me? Why is my hair all white?"
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that a son should pay for his father's debts. Rong Ji was Rong Chang's son, so he was not innocent.
But if Rongchang follows Wanjiao's advice and gives away all his wealth, willing to die, then his wife and children will still have a glimmer of hope.
But Rong Ji used the Soul-Sealing Jade to prolong Rong Chang's life, and now, there is no turning back.
"The Soul-Sealing Jade drained your life force," Wan Jiao explained to Rong Ji, and urged him, "While you still have time, go and say goodbye to your father properly."
Rong Ji dropped his phone and ran away without even disconnecting the connection.
His camera was pointed directly at the ceiling, and the luxurious decor dazzled most of the viewers in the live stream.
[GG Gentle: Holy crap, what did I just see? Is that gold?]
[Xu Xian 666: It really is gold, this is definitely a luxury mansion, I'm so jealous I'm going to split my body apart]
[Grandpa_Lonely: This is definitely the Rongchang family I know.]
[Be God: It's good to be rich. You can even buy Soul-Sealing Jade to prolong your life. I'm so envious!]
[Marry your grandma and make her your grandpa, have a son and say your dad's grandson is good: Rong Ji: Can I say I deeply regret using the Soul-Sealing Jade?]
[Online tutorial from a "bad girl": Hahahaha, if you marry your grandma and have a son, he'll be your dad's grandson. You know how to be funny.]
[Everything can be discussed: Host, just wondering, what exactly is a Soul-Sealing Jade?]
Wan Jiao had been paying attention to the comments. When she saw the question "Everything can be played with", she didn't hide anything and said directly, "It's a second-grade spiritual artifact."
Those who cultivate the Tao do not lie.
The spiritual energy in this world is scarce, metaphysics is waning, and ghosts and spirits are on the rise and fall of their respective forms.
Because of those few tricks she uses, most of those who can now enter her live stream are people experiencing things related to metaphysics. There's nothing wrong with her telling them the truth, letting them know that there are indeed things in this world that science cannot explain.
[Mysterious netizen: We were taught from a young age to believe in science and reject feudal superstition. Host, aren't you afraid of being invited to the authorities for questioning if you're leading the way in promoting feudal superstition?]
["Staying up all night will turn you into a haggard old woman": Mysterious netizen, even I, a passerby, can't help but say a few words to you after hearing this. If you believe in science, then don't watch this. This is a live fortune telling broadcast, not a science lecture. The host being invited inside for tea? I bet even if you were invited in, the host wouldn't go in.]
[Everything can be used for fortune telling: The old lady is right, this live stream is for fortune telling, those who believe in science should not watch it]
[I'll stay up all night and turn you into a haggard old woman: Bro, why did you have to call me that? Call me haggard old woman, believe me, I'll get angry!]
[Everything can be played with: Sorry bro, but those three words of yours are just too eye-catching]
[I'll stay up all night and turn you into a haggard old woman: ...]
Please leave.
[To those who believe in science, goodbye!]
[...]
[...]
Aside from a few comments like "Staying up all night will turn you into a haggard old woman" and "Everything can be used as a pet," the rest of the comments were all asking viewers who believe in science to leave.
Wan Jiao was quite pleased with this.
The respect and kindness shown by complete strangers is truly wonderful.
Wan Jiao cleared her throat. "The end of science is metaphysics. Without a sense of awe, one will either be plagued by bad luck or suffer from a serious illness."
Just as Wan Jiao finished speaking, a young man in City C of Shengguo was drinking water at home when he suddenly slipped and fell, fracturing his coccyx in a comminuted fracture.
He screamed in pain and frantically reached for his phone to call an ambulance.
On his phone screen was the Kuaiyu app, which he hadn't yet logged out of; he had just been watching a live stream.
The camera zoomed in, revealing Wan Jiao's live stream room.
Yes, this young man is the guy nicknamed "Mysterious Netizen".
…
…
Rong Ji didn't disconnect, and neither did Wan Jiao. She stayed connected with him, occasionally saying a few words to the viewers in the live stream.
A dozen minutes later, this message appeared in the live stream chat.
[FastFish: Have you guys seen the news? Rongchang has passed away.]
After one comment about Rongchang's death appeared, there was a second, a tenth, a hundredth... and so on up to the N+1th comment.
Amidst a barrage of comments like "Rongchang is dead, the streamer is so accurate" and "The streamer is a fortune teller," Rong Ji, who had been away for a while, returned. He looked much older now, with wrinkles all over his face.
"Master, my father has passed away."
Wan Jiao gave a soft "Mmm," and said, "I know."
Rong Ji raised his hand and touched his face. "Master, can you help me?"
Wan Jiao could help, but she wouldn't.
Defying fate and going against the natural order is all Rong Ji's retribution.
"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do." Wan Jiao's refusal was crisp and decisive.
Rong Ji asked again, "Then how much longer can I live?"
Wan Jiao: "Three months."
"Okay, I understand, thank you, Master." Rong Ji bowed deeply to Wan Jiao on the phone screen and promised, "I will donate the 1,000 yuan divination fee to the Shengguo Charity Federation as soon as possible."
Wan Jiao shook her head. "No need, it's free this time. The deceased is gone, let's send him on his way properly."
Rong Ji thanked Wan Jiao many, many times before disconnecting the line.
[It's Heartwarming: Brothers and sisters, look at the trending topics! Rongchang has made a will, donating all his assets to the Shengguo Charity Federation.]
[The absent-minded boyfriend #3: Really? I'm going to check.]
Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, the things about Rongchang and the Rong family are actually true! My worldview has collapsed.
